A great summer day!

Its days like today that make me looove summer! I went to the gym with Lisa, had a great workout despite feeling very weak.

I had a Purple Monster when I got home. Strawberries, blackberries, banana, almond breeze, spinach and a little frozen yogurt.

Andrew enjoyed one too. He had a busy day assembling our new BBQ! We also bought a new patio set which he assembled also. Our yard looks fantastic. We have a wonderful back yard, but have never really used it to its full potential. Pics to come!
We had some friends over for some nibbles tonight. Here is my spread.
A veggie plate.


Homemade guac, multi grain tostitos and an anti pasto spread.

Foccacia sticks, wheat thins and rosemary crackers.

Ciabatta and a baguette

Apples, cherries. straberries


And the star of the evening... CHEESE. Oka, Smoked gouda, brie, aged cheddar and gorgonzola.

A pitcher or 4 of Sangria.Our friends brought over this amazing Rolo cake from a local bakery. I'd be lying if I said I didn't LOVE every bite.

A great day indeed!!
I've extended the deadline for the 15 Week Challenge until tomorrow night at 6pm.

Mmmmm...your nibbles look good! Makes me jealous of your guests, lol.

I have a friend that might have been interested in joining the challenge, but she is going to be away this week so she didn't think it would work. How does it work if people go on holidays during the challenge? It is summer, after all.

Just curious...

WOw that cake looks amazing. Right up my alley. I also like how you have a bunch of healthy stuff to eat. We did a bbq not too long ago, and did the same thing...all healthy stuff. No one complained that there wasn't any junk food, and everyone ate it all up.

I hope you got my emails for the challenge. Sign me up! ;)

Everything looked so great. Just my kind of spread, fruit, veggies, bread and cheese. Oh and the Sangria. I like how you labeled the cheeses.
